Graham: [KDE] Highlights from 2025

Nate Graham looksback at how 2025 went for the KDE project.

Today Plasma is the default desktop environment in a bunch of thehottest new gaming-focused distros, including Bazzite, CachyOS,Garuda, Nobara, and of course SteamOS on Valve's gamingdevices. Fedora's Plasma edition was also promoted to co-equalstatus with the GNOME edition, and Asahi Linux - the singlepractical option for Linux on newer Macs - only supports KDEPlasma. Parrot Linux recently switched to Plasma by default,too. And Plasma remains the default on old standbys likeEndeavourOS, Manjaro, NixOS, OpenMandriva, Slackware and TuxedoOS -which ships on all devices sold by Tuxedo Computers!
